Said the woman with Malkovich and Eternal in her top ten.

I'm 5/5 with Ebert haha. He gave them all 4's.

I thought Batman Begins was a pretty good movie, but didn't love it.

I assume that its appearance will mean that the The Dark Knight will be on here as well. I just hope that it doesn't also mean that The Dark Knight Rises will join it.

I did say "most."

Rises will be in the top 5, I did NOT like TDK at all.



/s/

Again, another one I liked more as they went on.


BB, TDK and then TDKR is my fave.

The Dark Knight Rises was awful.

Wow I forgot I only use /s/ on another forum lol. That means sarcasm.

35. Fracture (2007)
RT: 71%
IMDB: 7.2/10
Ebert: n/a
Metacritic: 68%

Guilty pleasure for me. Probably has plot-holes that I never will look up, because it's great to me. Rosamund Pike in it is so damn beautiful.

I liked Fracture quite a bit when I saw it in the theater. I have it in my DVD collection but for whatever reason I haven't watched it in quite a few years. Not sure how I feel about it now.

Still better than any Star Wars movie, though.

Although it's close, I tend to think of Batman Begins as the best of the trilogy.

I haven't seen Fracture, but I think I'd like it.

34. Toy Story (1995)
RT: 100%
IMDB: 8.3/10
Ebert: 4/4

Fracture was a decent thriller. I remember liking the performances better than the story but I would need to re-watch to rate properly.

Toy Story's good, but I don't love it. Still a little bitter about it topping the Animation Countdown, too.

33. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
RT: 91%
IMDB: 9.3/10
Ebert: 3.5/4 initially, 4/4 updated.

To be honest this is really low for me, but I haven't watched it in a couple of months.. I'm sure if I watch it again soon it would be much higher

Shawshank used to be in my top 50, but the last time I watched it (a few years ago), the feeling just wasn't quite there anymore. I still liked it, but didn't love it. I'll be watching it again soon for the 7th HOF so we'll see if that last watch was just an anomaly.

Good list so far Cole! Keep it up!

Doing well so far dude. Keep it coming!
